iOS 9 beta on the Apple iPad 2 GSM

iOS 9 beta on the Apple iPad 2 GSM


Here is a look at the 2011 Apple iPad 2 GSM running iOS 9 beta. Yes the mighty Apple iPad 2 can run iOS 9 in 2015 which is amazing. But it does come at a cost.

You might not notice that in the video but the iPad 2 is having a hard time running iOS 9, after all the iPad 2 has only 512 MB of RAM which is really not a lot by todays's standards.

If you run only one Application that's fine, but I don't expect any of you doing that, don't you switch from one the App to the other without closing it? even in Safari between tabs, it keeps reloading the page once you switch from one tab back to the other and that's because it's low on memory.

Launching apps could take 20-30 seconds and that's because it takes a long time loading the data required to run the application. Even with Apple apps, as illustrated in the video, the AppStore takes a long time to load.

Sure iOS 9 continues the support and in the coming months a lot of applications will probably start supporting iOS 9 and up, but it's about time we give the iPad 2 a break. I mean come on, Apple should have left it at iOS 6 where it was running with its glory.

Anyway, for those who would like the upgrade, why not? iOS 9 is not made for the iPad 2. Period! it's made for the new devices. You should retire your iPad 2 with iOS 8 at the most (disabling transparency and all kinds of settings so it could run).

I cannot find a reason why to upgrade, even new features are not supported (like PIP and etc...)

Conclusion: stay away and if you have it running iOS 7 or 8, you might want to downgrade it to iOS 6. YES, YOU CAN. ----> HERE <----

How to downgrade iOS 8 or iOS 7 to iOS 6 on Apple iPad 2

How to downgrade iOS 8 or iOS 7 to iOS 6 on Apple iPad 2




In this Video, I show you how to downgrade iOS 7 or 8 back to the remarkable performance of the iOS 6 on the iPad 2 (does it work for iPhone 4? There is no reason why it should't).

Everyone who still has the old 2nd generation tablet wishes to go back to the performance of iOS 6. of course it doesn't give support for new apps but it does not make the iPad 2 look so old when it comes to performance.

so how to do it?
you will need redsn0w version 0.9.15.b3, iOS 5.0.1 and any iOS 4 that you used in the past with saved shsh blobs on the device. in this case I used iOS 4.3.5.

the steps are very easy:
1. You will to enter DFU mode on the iPad (while connected to your computer) by holding power and home button until the screen goes black for about 7 seconds then release the power button while holding the home button for another 7  seconds and then you can release the home button.
2. Open redsn0w and go to extras -> even more -> restore -> IPSW to be restored to.
3. select iOS 5.0.1 then it will tell you that it needs additional IPSW, just hit ok.
4. select iOS 4 that you have (mine was 4.3.5) .
5. it will start the restoring process, when it finishes, you have a message that restoring was successful.
6. the rest will be on your device, set up iOS 5.0.1 then navigate to general -> software update and download iOS 6.1.3
7. hit install and wait until your iPad finishes.
8. Congratulations, you have iOS 6.1.3 back on your iPad
9. enjoy

Panasonic HC V210 Full HD 1080P Camcorder Unboxing

Panasonic HC V210 Full HD 1080P Camcorder Unboxing



While the Canon eos line DSLR Cameras provide a better, much better Video Recording experience and capabilities, it just gets annoying the whole time you need to focus on something, while the eos line has been upgraded to include a much better AF while video recording experience, it's still not there yet, it just needs improving, besides nothing beats a Video camcorder that was created obviously to record videos.
The Panasonic HC V210 gets you there, it offers an outstanding video recording capabilities for the the price (160 GBP/ 190 EUR) , it takes even stills at 10 MP but the sensor is 2.51 MP and the effective Pixels for the images are only 2.2 MP, means the 10 MP is just scaled. anyway, it's there but if you are looking to be impressed then you will be disappointed, let's leave that to the review.

in the box you get the Camcorder, instructions, battery which lasts up to 1.5 Hrs of video (amazing, isn't it?), you get a power supply, Mains adapter (EU, US, UK), HDMI cable and Mini USB to USB cable and that's about it. oh and not to forget some CDs (one for the Video Editing Software for windows only and some instructions CD).

First impressions:
great camcorder, outstanding zoom up to 72x Intelligent and 2500x Digital which is useless, but up to 100x is really fine and you can still see a lot of details, that's why I got it compared to similar Canon Legrias at similar price range.

Mac OS X Mavericks - Finder Tabs

Mac OS X Mavericks - Finder Tabs



One of the most annoying things for me while using a Mac is the necessity to use a Multi Finder window, it's not enough for me to open one and it's inconvenient to change folders each time I want something, it was always cool to have tabs in Chrome and tabs in Safari, so why not get the same for finder? and that's exactly what Apple did, now by hitting Command & T you get a tab and the awesome thing about it is that you can have as many tabs as you want and what's even cooler is that you can close finder and reopen it and et voila!! the tabs are still there!
